how to play golf with more confidence

confidence and passion increase with ability. therefore, the greater your golfing ability, the more confidence you will have on and off the golf course.

confidence starts even before you address the ball. when you're looking at your target and setting up, there is no doubt or fear of shanking the shot, hitting it short or entering a hazard. then when you are about to hit the ball, confidence means you have conviction to impact, compress the ball and let it soar down the target line.

everyone wants to play with confidence. Doctor Bob Rotella wrote a book called "Golf is a Game of Confidence".

It's easy to play golf confidently when you're playing well and shooting low scores. But how do you do it when you're in a bad patch and haven't been playing well??

If my opening statement is true, then the opposite must be true too. that your confidence decreases when your ability to play good golf drops.

If like me, you've experienced a time when your golf seems to be at its worst and you couldn't ever play any lousier scores, then this is dedicated to you. the process may not be easy but its definitely worth it because when your confidence returns, playing golf will be so much more fun and the improved golfing score will be oh so sweet. mmm


step 1: think about something that is going well in your life
it might not be related to golf
eg: a loving family, a pet that always makes you smile

step 2: analyse all aspects of your game and list down which is the worst area and why
currently, my worst aspect is my iron shots

step 3: compare the worst area to other aspects of the game
you should find that the part of the golf game you are most dissatisfied with is only one aspect of the whole golf game which is made up of so many areas

step 4 : focus on the parts of your game that are going well
for me, i am driving the ball longer off the tee and i rarely miss a fairway over the 18 holes

step 5: don't think too much into the situation
its all temporary ! things will definitely turn around soon. the less of your thought you put into the bad things, the more likely that they will go away

look forward to good times my friends !
